alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

just wrote 10 paragraphs to my MP asking him to push back against the EHRC's updated guidance, aka the trans bathroom bill.

Durham pride happened today. the Reform UK led council cut the funding, with the deputy leader, a gay man himself, citing "gender ideology, kids on puberty blockers, and men in women's spaces" as the reason he disapproved of pride. it went ahead thanks to group such as Durham Miner's Association fundraising (solidarity forever!) but the fact still stands that this attack on trans people hurt the entire queer community.

this new guidance hurts queer people in many ways (another example: gay and lesbian couples where one person is trans will no longer be protected as same sex couples under the Equalities Act) and of course, hurts our trans siblings the most (feeling unsure or unsafe about using public bathrooms will lead to trans people going out less. trans men are expected to either break the law or simply not go. trans people will be excluded from pools, gyms and spas that don't have mixed sex changing rooms.)

i wrote about all that, but you may have your own thoughts or relevant experiences about how this guidance has or will impact you or your loved ones. so write it. call on your MP to do the following:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate and a free vote on this Code.

Support any motion tabled in Parliament objecting to it.

Write to the Minister for Women and Equalities and the Prime Minister.

or, if you don't have it in you to write ten paragraphs (which is very understandable), you should still fill out this email template with your own personal touches and sign this petition, if you're british. and if you're not british, you should reblog this so your british followers can see it.

40 days. One email. Your name on the right side of history.

Petition: Review anti-discrimination laws to strengthen trans women & LGBTQ+ protections

Launch a review into strengthening legal protections and clearer enforcement against discrimination, harassment and exclusion of trans women

don't save this for later. don't put a pin in it, planning to come back to it later. later may never come. we only have 31 days. do it now while it's on your mind. it really doesn't take long.

Merlin/Lancelot, 5k, Mature, No Warnings. Hanahaki disease.

“I’m fine,” Merlin repeats, clearing his throat. He wipes his mouth, but something— Something’s on his lips. Something red, and Lancelot’s heart drops to his stomach at the sight of it. But then Merlin gets closer to take the basket back, and Lancelot is able to see it better. Dumbfounded, he takes it from Merlin’s lip and holds it between his fingers. “Is this—” He looks up at Merlin. Wide blue eyes are already on him. “Is this a petal?”

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes

I got 60 out of 1000 😂

1000 Books You May Have Actually Read

Based on the number of ratings each book has on Goodreads. And if you haven't read them, maybe you can use for a literature bucket list.

[tinyasafirefly]

Anyone who says they’ve read all 1000 is a liar because one of them is a huge cookbook and no one is actively joy reading that.

[mbrainspaz]

with some of these it’s like “fuck, I did read that,” and with some it’s like “Oh fuck, I did read that.”

I got 99, but I counted a few that I had only mostly-read before deciding I didn’t like them and never finishing them.

Gwaine, my silly… I love him so much.

Harry Potter is trending at #1 on tumblr so I thought I’d take the opportunity to say fuck JKR, fuck transphobes, fuck her stupid books, her theme park, her endless landfill fodder merch slop, and her fucking castle on a hill. Read another book yall!! Read another book!!!!!!!

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

🚨IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!🚨

Hello Merlin fans!

We have received some unfortunate news that a few people who believe they signed up have not received their assignments. This appears to be because for some unknown reason Google Forms did not record their sign up, therefore we were not aware they had signed up when we were matching people for their assignments.

If you signed up for this years Camelot Remix fest and have NOT received an assignment email from us, please email us ASAP at [email protected] where we will ask you to complete the sign up information via email.

We are going to ask people to reach out to us by Friday 13th March. If you contact us after this date we will not be able to include you in this years fest, except in a pinch hitter role.

On Saturday 14th March we will look at the sign up information of everyone who has reached out to us and in the first instance, we will try and match you with each other. If this is not possible due to preferences, we may reach out to other people who have already received assignments, asking if they would be willing to switch out to a different person.

We hope to have everything resolved by the end of next weekend.

If you could help us out by giving this post a reblog to maximise the chances of people seeing this, we would be very grateful. Please also reach out to any friends you believe were planning to sign up to the fest to make sure they weren't affected.

Thank you for your understanding, - Remix mods

I promise you haven't fucked up as badly as you think you have.

A wise mentor once said to me while I was student teaching: "Did you actually fuck it up, or did it just not go how you expected it to go?"

Life changing words.

we need to talk more about the fandom experience of "I actually do like the idea of these two characters together and think it would have been an interesting direction for the show to have gone in, but unfortunately everyone who openly ships them is so exhaustingly unpleasant about it that it's barely even enjoyable to engage with the fandom at large anymore so the ship itself is now ruined for me"

You won an all-expenses-paid trip to the Olympic games! The only catch is that you must compete in one event as the normal-person benchmark to compare with the athletes. Which event?

figure skating

speed skating

ice hockey

snowboarding

downhill skiing

ski jump

biathlon (skiing + shooting)

bobsled

luge

curling

I may not be an Olympian but I can make a decent effort in [tag]

Camelot Remix is back for 2026! But what’s a remix, you ask?

A remix is where a fanwork creator takes another person’s fanwork and creates a new fanwork which is based upon the original work.

How does this whole thing work?

Basically, you will be assigned someone who has also signed up for the fest and will be asked to remix one of their fanworks, and someone else will be asked to remix yours. We always do our best to match people with someone we think will be a good match, but of course, we can only match you up with people who sign up! Need more info? Never fear, we have plenty of resources which you can find linked below on our carrd website:

✨What’s a remix? ✨FAQs & Rules

2026 TIMELINE: Sign ups Open: Saturday 14 February Sign ups Close: Saturday 28 February Assignments Sent: on or before Saturday 7 March Submissions Due: Sunday 31 May Posting Begins: Saturday 6 June Reveals: TBD (July)

Please reach out if you have additional questions.

We’re excited to see what all our fabulous remixers create for this year’s fest!

Actually, the reason to write that rarepair longfic that no one else is going to read is so you can go back and re-read it yourself when you're sad.
